Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

The largest draw for the crowd is "look you can fuck a bear".

I doubt it to be honest. People who genuinely care for that stuff to the point it's a factor for buying or playing a game aren't likely to actually care about games in the first place.

I think a lot of the success of BG3 was driven by the DOS games and the pull the Baldur's Gate name actually still has.

Yeah, there is some brand recognition going with DnD and Baldur's Gate series, but the biggest draw for the crowd were Larian's Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2. No doubt about it.
The largest draw for the crowd is "look you can fuck a bear". Also the early access let people play the game's best part which lead people to have a misjudgement about the quality of the game.

Original Sin series is nowhere near as important as some people thinks.
Dos2 was the most successful crpg before BG3 and sold 7.5 million copies.
